If the new firmware can be designed/written to prevent boost at the CAC inlet in cruise mode and still keep the turboes spun up right to, but NEVER beyond, the cusp of producing boost pressure then the condensate will not form with low to moderate, no boost, throttle positions.
Then the CAC can be returned to FULL efficiency, no de-rating via blockage of cooling airflow required.

I went ahead and removed the front top shield figuring if I have any issues I have the TBS to fall back on. I left the rear top shield in place.

I pulled the top plate and mine and in about 200 miles had the limp mose issue in the rain. Threw that sucker right back on and have had no issues since.
All I know WBY5 box code that they flashed me to SUCKS royally.

This the 2013+ CAC have what appear to be foam pieces internally that prevent efficiency. It basically looks like they attempted to do everything possible to raise the temps in the CAC in a hope to vaporize the condensate, IMHO.

Hopefully someone can report how the new flash works.

Get a sct tuner and a tune for the truck I your concerned about it. IMO that's the best way to go. You can get a safe 87oct tune if you don't care about performance at all vs a performance tune. Sure it's a few hundred bucks but it's a better/long term fix vs Fords band-aid fix.

Again this isn't challenging at all. I know very little about tunes and never done one and likely wouldn't. I can't pay to play.
